Summary of Important Instructions
for Temperature Measurement
These are important 2-page instructions. Please read the instructions
thoroughly before use.
1. Study results show that the ear is ideal for measuring body
temperature, since the hypothalamus (brain part regulating
body temperature) and the eardrum are supplied by the same
blood vessels. Therefore, changes in body temperature can be
detected more quickly and accurately in the ear than in other
parts of the body.
2. Wait a little before starting to measure, if the thermometer has
been stored at a location where the temperature is considerably
dierent from the place of measurement.
3. The thermometer and persons whose body temperature you are
measuring should be in the same room for at least 30 minutes.
4. Do not take body temperature measurements immediately after
a shower, a bath, or after arriving from the outside. You must wait
at least 30 minutes.
5. Earwax can cause inaccurate measurement results, so
clean the ears before performing any measurements. After
that, wait for approx. 5–10 minutes before measuring the
temperature. The ear canal must be dry.
6. The infrared sensor on the thermometer must be clean
and dry. Read more about cleaning in chapter “Care and
Maintenance”.
7. Always measure the temperature in the same ear, as it can dier
between both ears.
8. Do not perform measurements in your ear if you have an
earache, ear injury, or if there is water in your ear, e.g. after
showering or swimming.
9 There are no prescribed standard values for personal
physical temperature. Measure your body temperature when
you are healthy and do not have a fever. This measured value
is to serve you as a reference value to compare your body
temperature to when you have a fever. Read more about body
temperature in chapter “Body Temperature Information”.

10. If you are using ear drops or any other medicine in one ear, you
should measure the temperature in the other ear.
11. If you have been lying on one ear for a longer period of time, the
temperature in this ear will be slightly higher. Wait for at least
20 minutes before performing the measurement.
12. The thermometer can be used for individuals at 6 months of
age or older. Babies younger than 6 months still have a very
narrow ear canal. Therefore, measuring the temperature in the
eardrum may be impossible and, as a result, the results will not
be accurate.
13. Do not perform any other activities while measuring the
temperature – be still.
14. It is recommended that the user performs 3 consecutive
temperature measurements. If the measurements dier from
each other, consider the average value.
15. Perform individual measurements at one-minute intervals,
as minor deviations may occur with multiple consecutive
measurements.
16. There are no prescribed standard values for personal
physical temperature. Measure your body temperature when
you are healthy and do not have a fever. This measured
value is to serve you as a reference value to compare your
body temperature to when you have a fever. Read more
about body temperature in chapter “Body temperature
information”.
17. The ear temperature measured using infrared technology
is not comparable to the forehead, mouth, armpit, or rectal
temperature.
18. The temperature measured during sleep is not comparable to the
temperature measured when you are awake, as the temperature
is usually lower during sleep.

Safety Instructions Before Use of the Product
Make sure to follow all of the instructions below when using the
product. Any failure to follow the instructions may result in injury or
aect the accuracy of the measurement.
Warning! Potential risks for children and people with
reduced physical, sensory, or mental abilities!
1. This thermometer is not intended to be used by persons (including
children) with limited physical, sensory or mental abilities, or lack
of experience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised
by a person responsible for their safety, or they have received
instructions from such person on how to use the thermometer.
2. Keep the thermometer out of the reach of children under 18 years
of age.
3. Supervise your children all the time so they don't play with the

suer injures if they use the thermometer.
Warning! Risk of personal injury!
1. Improper handling of the thermometer may cause injuries.
2. Do not use the thermometer in case of malfunction. Do not
attempt to modify, disassemble or repair the thermometer, and do
not replace its parts.
3. If abnormalities occur during the use of the thermometer, stop the
use immediately and consult your physician.
4. Do not perform any other activities while measuring the
temperature.
5. If you have any doubts regarding the use of the thermometer,
please consult your physician.
6. These instructions for use must be stored for the duration of the
product life cycle and handed over to a third party along with the
thermometer. The instructions for use should also be accessible
to third parties. The instructions for use are an integral part of the
thermometer.

7. Avoid improper use.
8. This thermometer cannot replace a consultation with a physician,
or medical treatment! The measurement results are for
comparison purposes only. In the event of a medical problem,
you should see your physician.
9. The infrared sensor should stay clean and dry. Avoid damaging
it. This is the only way to achieve accurate measurement results.
10. Do not touch the infrared sensor or blow in it. If the infrared
sensor is dirty, the results of the measurement could be
inaccurate.
11. Do not use the thermometer if it is damaged. If you use a
damaged device, you can suer injuries, cause serious danger,
or incorrect measurement results.
12. Wait a little before starting to measure, if the thermometer has
been stored at a location where the temperature is considerably
dierent from the place of measurement. The thermometer and
persons whose body temperature you are measuring should be
in the same room for at least 30 minutes.
13. Do not take the body temperature measurements immediately
after a shower, a bath, or after arriving from the outside. You
must wait at least 30 minutes.
14. It is recommended that the user performs 3 consecutive
temperature measurements. If the measurements dier from
each other, consider the average value.
15. Perform individual measurements at one-minute intervals,
as minor deviations may occur with multiple consecutive
measurements.
16. Do not perform measurements in your ear if you have an
earache, or if there is water in your ear, e.g. after showering or
swimming.
17. Earwax can cause inaccurate measurement results. Clean the
ears before performing any measurements. After that, wait for
approx. 5–10 minutes before measuring the temperature.

18. Always measure the temperature in the same ear, as it can dier
between both ears.
19. If you are using ear drops or any other medicine in one ear, you
should measure the temperature in the other ear.
20. In case of ear temperature measurement for a person using a
hearing aid or ear plugs, it is recommended that you wait approx.
30 minutes after removing the aid/plugs before measuring the
temperature.
21. Repeat the measurement approx. every 15 minutes if the
measurement results are unusually low or do not correspond to
personal well-being. In this case, perform a comparative mouth
or rectal measurement with a conventional thermometer. If you
have any doubts, please consult your physician.
22. There are no prescribed standard values for personal physical
temperature. Measure your body temperature when you are
healthy and do not have a fever. This measured value is to serve
you as a reference value to compare your body temperature to
when you have a fever.
23. The measured temperature only represents a reference value.
Please consult your physician before taking any measures based
on the temperature measurement result displayed.
Warning! Risk of injury! Improper handling of the
thermometer may cause injuries.
1. Do not drop the thermometer on the oor, shake it, or expose it to
impacts.
2. To ensure accurate measurement results, protect the infrared
thermometer sensor in particular from moisture, dirt, and damage.
3. Do not expose the thermometer to direct sunlight or to extremely
high or low temperatures. The thermometer should be used and
